Don't wait until the end of summer to regret it! The sea of flowers and snowfields of Dagu Glacier will not come again if missed!

🌼 In July, the Dagu Glacier is in full bloom with a hundred acres of flowers, and the entire mountainside is covered with greenery. The cool breeze is refreshing, and the air is filled with the delicate fragrance of flowers and the fresh scent of grass, intoxicating. 🌟 Without a doubt, this is the legendary summer of Dagu Glacier! 🚗 Transportation Routes 🚗 Self-driving route recommendation: Depart from Chengdu, pass through Wenchuan, Mao County, Lianghekou, Se'ergu, Heishui, and finally reach Dagu Glacier, covering about 300 kilometers, and it takes approximately 5 hours to reach Heishui County. 🚌 Take a tourist shuttle bus: Take a bus to Heishui County from the Chadianzi Bus Station in Chengdu, and then transfer to a taxi to Dagu Glacier after arriving in the county. 📅 Travel Time Recommendation 🌞 The summer of Dagu Glacier (June to August) is the best season for summer escape and cooling off. Not only can you enjoy the coolness, but also experience the shock and tranquility of the natural snowfields, as if entering winter in a second. 🍁 The autumn of Dagu Glacier (September to November) is a world of colorful splendor, very suitable for photography enthusiasts. With fewer tourists, you can enjoy a peaceful travel experience. 🎟️ About the Ticket Price: The ticket is 120 yuan/person, the sightseeing car is 70 yuan/person, the cable car is 180 yuan/person, totaling 370 yuan. 📝 The scenic area implements a real-name system for online ticket booking, and it is recommended to book tickets in advance. 🕗 The opening hours are from May 6th to November 13th, 8:00-15:30, and entry is stopped after 15:30. 🏨 Accommodation: You can choose to stay in Heishui County or homestays near the scenic area. The Dagu Glacier scenic area is very close to the county, and accommodation and dining are very convenient. 🗺 Recommended Tour Route 🚌 Take the sightseeing bus in the following order of attractions: Cable car summit station — Cable car lower station — Loges God Mountain — Lover's Beach — Dagu Lake — Hongyun Reservoir — Red Army Bridge — Zena Lake — Tibetan Chieftain Monkey Viewing Area — Golden Monkey Sea. 🗻 It is recommended to first take the sightseeing bus to the cable car and go up to the mountain top. After visiting the mountain top, take the sightseeing bus to visit the attractions at the foot of the mountain, or you can arrange according to your own time. 🟡Introduction to Check-in Spots 1️⃣ Golden Monkey Sea: Departing from the visitor center, you can quickly reach the Tibetan Chieftain Monkey Viewing Area by taking the sightseeing bus. There are groups of Tibetan macaques, which are very cute, but remember to keep a distance! You can buy some corn to feed the monkeys. 2️⃣ Dagu Lake: In spring, Dagu Lake is dreamlike, with the ice on the lake melted and the water clear to the bottom. If the weather is good, you can also see the distant Loges God Mountain, whose reflection in the lake is mysterious and beautiful, and the lake and mountains are intoxicating, making it easy to take beautiful photos. 3️⃣ Loges God Mountain: In Tibetan, Loges God Mountain means 'protector of the mountains.' From afar, Loges Holy Mountain looks like a giant Buddha standing between heaven and earth. It is very suitable for taking portraits, and of course, the weather also determines whether you can take good photos. 4️⃣ Summit of the Snow Mountain: After getting off the cable car, the summit of the 4860 Snow Mountain comes into view. The peaks are magnificent and well-arranged. Here you can see three glaciers side by side, and the sight of clouds surging over the mountain tops is breathtaking. 5️⃣ 4860 Cafe: If you're tired from taking photos on the mountain top, you can go up to the second floor and sit in the world's loneliest cafe to have a cup of not-lonely coffee. The towering snow mountains in front of you are all in sight, like a beautiful painting. 📝 Precautions: 1️⃣ Be sure to bring several pieces of clothing, because it is really cold there! 2️⃣ For those who are climbing the snow mountain for the first time, be sure to bring enough oxygen bottles, and don't try to be strong, because there are strong winds above, and it is difficult to breathe if the body cannot adapt. 3️⃣ Shoes must be slip-resistant, because it is easy to fall up there 4️⃣ Be sure to do sun protection, because the ultraviolet rays are really strong. 5️⃣ The journey is bumpy, and after entering the scenic area, you need to take a sightseeing bus for an hour, and then take the cable car, so it is recommended not to wash your hair or do strenuous exercise on the first night to avoid high altitude sickness. 6️⃣ Bring some oxygen bottles or buy a few bottles of Rhodiola to carry with you (the price is uniform in the scenic area, and it can be bought cheaper at the pharmacy at home in advance). 7️⃣ Remember to book tickets in advance on major platforms, as ticket prices may vary from platform to platform, so it's worth comparing. 8️⃣ The basic infrastructure here is poor, whether it's restaurants, hotels, or service areas, the toilet environment is relatively dirty. 9️⃣ Don't engage in strenuous exercise or running on the plateau, and carry easy-to-eat food.
